Amherst admission deans are involved in all aspects of the college admission process, from conducting information sessions for prospective applicants and families, to traveling afar to meet with high school students and counselors across the nation and the world, to reading applications and participating in admission committee to make those difficult final decisions. The admission deans work closely with an amazing and talented operations staff who keep track of every document, every phone call, and every email and generally keep things running smoothly in our office!
The information below is intended to help you get to know our admission deans on a more personal level, but please be aware that Amherst does not track demonstrated interest for applicants, so there is no reason to get in touch with a particular dean. If you do have a question or need to get in touch with our office, please email us at admission@amherst.edu or call us at 413-542-2328. Our staff will then direct your question to the dean who can best answer it.
